Only tips and calls DIRECTLY TO Crime Stoppers are anonymous and eligible for a cash reward.
“It is not even believable the dishonesty of the Fake News Media on the Arizona Audit results, which shows incomprehensible Fraud at an Election Changing level, many times more votes than is needed.”
“The Fake News Media refuses to write the facts, thereby being complicit in the Crime of the Century. They are so dishonest, but Patriots know the truth! Arizona must immediately decertify their 2020 Presidential Election Results.”

“Preliminary Audits of the Delaware 2020 elections are damning,” said Lauren Witzke, a 2020 Republican nominee for US Senate and Christian American Nationalist. “Only 10% of the votes have been audited and they’ve already found over 20k fraudulent ballots. Internal polling before the elections were EXTREMELY close.”
“They couldn’t let Joe Biden’s home state seem even remotely competitive while they were busy stealing the swing states,” she continued. It “would have raised a few eyebrows.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s looking like I pulled in at least 47% of the vote- I maybe even won,” Witzke continued. “Thank you to Seth Keshel’s Team for all of their hard work. More on this to come. Stay tuned!”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
“Last November, Florida held the smoothest, most successful election of any state in the country.”
“While we should celebrate this feat, we should not rest on our laurels…we are taking action to ensure that Florida remains a leader on key issues regarding our electoral process, such as ballot integrity, public access to election information, transparency of election reporting and more.”
“By strengthening these election integrity protections, we will ensure that our elections remain secure and transparent, and that Florida’s electoral process remains a blueprint for other states to follow.”

“ACORN, you may recall, is the left-wing activist group with longtime ties to community organizer-turned-President Barack Obama. (Forerunner of ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter and other George Soros or Mark Zuckerberg funded organizations).”
“The nonprofit, which now takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers after four decades on the public teat, has a history of engaging in voter fraud, corporate shakedowns, partisan bullying and pro-illegal immigration lobbying.”
“The Democrats’ stimulus proposals could make the group – and its lesser known but even more radical ideological allies – eligible for upward of $5 billion in new public cash.”

No investigation into election integrity and legalities in Arizona would be complete without taking a serious look into the ballot printing.
Arizona’s Attorney General, Mark Brnovich, requested more information from the Arizona Senate following the release of the report from the forensic audit in Maricopa County last week.
Brnovich
On Monday, Brnovich’s Election Integrity Unit sent a letter regarding the 2020 General Election in Maricopa County.
“The Arizona Senate’s report that was released on Friday raises some serious questions regarding the 2020 election,” Brnovich said. “Arizonans can be assured our office will conduct a thorough review of the information we receive.”
Maricopa County officials in Arizona failed to cooperate on crucial matters in the recent forensic election audit. Evidence was obviously removed or destroyed even prior to their subpoena.
According to “official” results, Joe Biden won over President Donald Trump statewide by only 10,457 votes.
However, the audit revealed serious questions on at least 57,722 ballots, more than five times that number.

🔹Tens of thousands of people voted from a prior address, which would technically invalidate the votes if the election law is enforced.
🔹10,342 voters potentially voted in more than one county.
🔹Over 9,000 more ballots were returned by voters than were sent out.
🔹In over 3,000 instances, the official results do “not match who voted.”
🔹There were 2,592 more duplicates than original ballots.
🔹There were 2,382 in person voters who had moved out of Maricopa County 29 days prior to the election.
🔹2,081 voters had moved out of state during the 29 days preceding the election.
🔹Hundreds of votes were cast by people who were not part of the official precinct register, or returned by mail from people who had not been sent ballots.
The ballots in Maricopa County were printed by Runbeck Election Services in Phoenix, Arizona, but many questions remain about these particular ballots.

Sworn Testimony
When Rudy Giuliani and Arizona state legislatures held public hearings regarding the Maricopa County election fraud of November 2020, among the most compelling sworn testimonies came from elections witness Jan Bryant.
Her testimony coincided with others and may explain Arizona audit director Ken Bennett’s later revelation that Dominion Voting Systems had refused to comply with a subpoena to turn over passwords to its Maricopa County voting machines.
During the hearing on November 30, 2020, Bryant testified under oath that not even county IT staff were allowed access to the machines.
Bryant witnessed Dominion employees with a laptop computer in the counting room during the six days she worked at the Maricopa County Election Center.
During questioning by Republican state Rep. Mark Finchem, Bryant said there were daily election ballot deliveries to the center by Runbeck Election Services. According to witness testimony, these deliveries happened from Nov. 3 to at least Nov. 10.
Repeated explanations by supervisors at that time was that “Runbeck has high speed scanners,” Bryant said. She was told the ballots were scanned offsite by Runbeck and then delivered to the Maricopa County Election Center.
Transcript Quotes from Bryant’s testimony:
Jan Bryant: …ten days before they quit tabulating they thought they were done. And then more truck loads of ballots would come in. And I’m like, how can you not know how many ballots are still out there.
State House Rep. David L. Cook: Mr. Chairman I’m sorry. WOULD YOU REPEAT THAT. They thought they were done, and then there was WHAT?
Jan Bryant: They thought they were done multiple times. Multiple times the people that were running the rooms thought they were done (counting ballots), or almost done. Or were gonna be done Wednesday morning (Nov. 4th), then Thursday morning (Nov. 5th), then Friday morning. Then it went on the whole next week. And I’m like, I asked the question, You don’t know how many ballots are still left to come in? I don’t know who does, again…process…project management, but zero.
AZ Rep: David L. Cook
State House Rep. Mark Finchem: On that point Ma’am, I’m tracking with you but, what day did the truck show up?
Jan Bryant: Every day, yeah, every day.
Mark Finchem: OK. Just a minute. I want to make sure we capture this properly. So there were trucks that showed up on the 3rd, and then the 4th, and then the 5th, and how long did that go on. How many days?
Jan Bryant: I wasn’t there the whole last week. My last day was the 10th and they were still coming in. They were coming from a company called Runbeck, that does the high speed scanning and printing of duplications, and I think the military ballots. And now I’m getting out of my comfort level here talking about this. I don’t know what they are doing but those ballots are coming in from a high speed scanning company called Runbeck that…. apparently you haven’t heard of Runbeck.
Mark Finchem: No, I’ve heard of Runbeck Ma’am. What I’m trying to figure out is whether they printed them or if they scanned them. And if they scanned them offsite, to what purpose?
Jan Bryant: I can’t tell you.
Mark Finchem: Wasn’t that your job to scan them? I mean, not your job, but the (MCTEC).
Jan Bryant: No, all the high speed scanning happens at Runbeck. So, those ballots go to Runbeck. As far as I know there were no observers there. I don’t know. I never got called to work at Runbeck. That’s all I can tell you.
Mark Finchem: No that’s fine. Your observation is useful here. What you’re telling me is the scanning wasn’t actually done on site at a Maricopa County structure. It was done someplace else.
Jan Bryant: Where they have very high speed scanners.
Mark Finchem: Right now I really don’t care what the speed is. I want to know were they Dominion scanners?
Jan Bryant: No, no, I don’t think it has anything to do with Dominion.
Mark Finchem: I’m trying to understand what was the purpose of scanning them in advance of them being tabulated on the Dominion equipment.
Jan Bryant: They were duplicate, duplications. The ballots that wouldn’t read through the tabulation machines. They were ballots that came in from Military and overseas. But there were more ballots than that. So I don’t know where the rest of them were coming from. Because they kept bringing trays of them in. So I don’t know where they were coming from. That’s a question for the county employees to explain to you, where those ballots came from that whole next week. I don’t know where they came from.
Rudy Giuliani
Rudy Giuliani: So you were there from Nov. 3rd through the 10th. Seven days later (after election) ballots were still coming in.
Jan Bryant: Yes.
Rudy Giuliani: Were those ballots counted?
Jan Bryant: I watched them go through the tabulation machines. And I watched people working on the adjudication of those ballots.
Rudy Giuliani: And how many ballots…
Jan Bryant: Oh, I don’t know.
Rudy Giuliani: What was the largest number you saw in one day. Just a guess. How many cartons?
Jan Bryant: …there was usually 2 or 3 shifts. I wanna say one day they thought 90,000 was a good number, for a shift. And if they were running multiple shifts a day. It was somewhere between the 3rd and the 10th.
State House Rep. Bret Roberts: I am assuming these were not early ballots in any way shape or form. I’m just kind of curious, did anything stand out to you as far as these new ballots, didn’t know where they were coming from, as far as a physical appearance in any way?
Jan Bryant: No. Everything… they just looked like ballots. Just kept coming. They all came in the same bins.
Georgia Sworn Affidavits
Jim Suver is listed on Runbeck Election Services’ website as Vice President of Business Services.
Jim Suver. Kevin Runbeck.
“Jim leads Runbeck’s business development and strategic growth initiatives in all states and specific partner counties. He is also responsible for developing and maintaining strong governmental relationships. In the U.S. elections space, Jim is well-known for establishing and finding value in previously untapped markets. Jim has managed Runbeck’s expansion to 18 states and Washington DC.”
One of the expansion areas for Runbeck Services is Georgia. Of special note is their printing and involvement with the controversial Fulton County election of November 2020.
Judge Amero is a Democratic donor in Georgia, but sworn affidavits from actual election monitors compelled him to order ballot reviews.
According to RealClearInvestigations, (RCI) Fulton County poll manager Suzi Voyles testified she saw ballots marked for Joe Biden were suspiciously pristine and uniform while she was sorting through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November.
When Fulton County, Ga., poll manager Suzi Voyles sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph R. Biden. One after another, the absentee votes contained perfectly filled-in ovals for Biden — except that each of the darkened bubbles featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a tiny crescent, indicating they’d been marked with toner ink instead of a pen or pencil.
Adding to suspicions, she noticed that all of the ballots were printed on different stock paper than the others she handled as part of a statewide hand recount of the razor-thin Nov. 3 presidential election. And none was folded or creased, as she typically observed in mail-in ballots that had been removed from envelopes.
In short, the Biden votes looked like they’d been duplicated by a copying machine.
“All of them were strangely pristine,” said Voyles, who said she’d never seen anything like it in her 20 years monitoring elections in Fulton County, which includes much of Atlanta.
More poll workers in Fulton County swore in affidavits that they also observed fake-looking ballots in stacks of absentee ballots for Biden.
Robin Hall, a certified Fulton County recount observer, also testified she witnessed a number of boxes of absentee ballots marked “100% for Biden” that appeared to be “perfectly filled out as if they were pre-printed with the presidential candidate selected.”
She stated: “They did not look like a person had filled this out at home. All of them looked alike.”
Judy Aube also worked at the World Congress Center on Nov. 14 where she observed the same thing: “suspicious batches” of mail-in ballots for Biden whose markings appeared identical, as if they had been duplicated by a machine and not filled out by a voter at home.
Barbara Hartman, another election official auditor, also doubted the authenticity of absentee ballots she handled that she said were never folded, as would normally be the case for ballots returned in an envelope by mail or dropped in a box. “The absentee ballots looked as though they had just come from a fresh stack,” she swore in her affidavit. “I could not observe any creases in the ballots and [it] did not seem like they were folded and put into envelopes or mailed out.”
Also, “The majority of the mail-in ballots that I reviewed contained suspicious black perfectly bubbled markings for Biden,” Hartman stated, adding that “they looked as if they were stamped.”
Fights Biden Proposal to Draft Daughters Into Military
Representative Chip Roy from Texas sent this email out to his constituents this week calling on America defending of the World Health Organization.
Chip Roy
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization shielded the Chinese Communist Party from international scrutiny surrounding COVID-19.
Rather than investigate the outbreak in Wuhan, China, the World Health Organization trusted the Chinese Communist Party to handle the situation. The result was a worldwide pandemic in which more than 600,000 Americans are now dead.
Wuhan Bat
But instead of holding the World Health Organization accountable for protecting the Chinese Communist Party, President Biden moved to unilaterally rejoin the World Health Organization on his first day in office.
This legislation would bar the United States from financially supporting the World Health Organization. Your tax dollars should not fund an unaccountable international organization that puts the Chinese Communist Party interests over American interests.
Should the United States fund the World Health Organization?
Pelosi
The WHO propagated the lies of the Chinese Communist Party and ignored our allies like Taiwan, who warned that COVID-19 could spread human to human. We are the largest government contributor to the World Health Organization and make up roughly 22% of the organization’s core budget. I firmly believe we must hold the World Health Organization accountable for its lack of transparency and failures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chip Roy’s District 21
In a separate correspondence this week, Representative Roy had this to see about drafting females into military service.
As the Senate considers whether to pass a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that will force American women to register for the draft, I wanted to share with you my thoughts on this issue, as well as highlights from my fight to keep this from becoming law.
I fully support the fundamental purpose of the NDAA which is to ensure we have well trained service members with all the tools necessary to carry out their mission and defend the United States of America.
However, unfortunately, this year’s NDAA was hijacked by the radical left. I could not and will not support a measure that requires my daughter — and other young women — to register for the draft.
As I explained to Tucker Carlson Monday night, while Congress is voting to draft women, they are ignoring the $36 million dollar study that was conducted to analyze combat effectiveness and found that all-male units are more effective in combat tasks than mixed-sex units. This isn’t about allowing women to volunteer to serve — this is about forcing them to serve in combat roles.
Full clip of Congressman Roy’s hit with Tucker Carlson is available at the link here, and a transcript can be found here.
It’s clear Congress is not supporting measures that strengthen our military, but instead advancing a woke social agenda. All Republicans must fight against the absurdity of this proposal for the sake of our wives, daughters, sisters, and mothers.
If you keep television news on constantly, this is what you are lead to believe.
If you know these are not true, why are you continuing to tune them in? Do you see the problem with that?
Oh, maybe that’s why you rushed to get in line for an experimental and ineffective “vaccine” for a virus that is less dangerous than flu or pneumonia.
How many do you believe in?
Biden got 80 million votes Climate change is real There are more then two genders There is systemic racism in America There isn’t a crisis at the border
The GOP wanted to defund the police Big Tech doesn’t censor conservatives COVID wasn’t released from a lab CRT isn’t racist Ivermectin isn’t effective
Hydroxychloroquine isn’t effective Trump colluded with the Russians Seth Rich was randomly mugged Epstein killed himself The election wasn’t rigged

The US House is set to pass a multi-trillion infrastructure bill on September 30 that includes a charge by mile pilot program.
Charging you for every mile (.08 cents per mile) you drive is a like a national toll tax. We all know how fast tolls go up, too. This is part of the agenda to tax you out of your car and make it so you have little ability to drive because it’ll be unaffordable.
We’ve learned most pilot programs become PERMANENT quickly, especially since this bill also gives Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg a virtual blank check to implement it as he sees fit with no further input from congress (which is just the way they like it – they can pass the buck – and blame – to the bureaucrats!).
URGENT ACTION ITEM
The only way to stop this train wreck is to melt down the phones of your member of congress as well as 4 senators:
1) Call your member of congress. Find out who represents you here. (Note: Be sure to contact your US Representative, not your state rep and state senator)
2) Call these U.S. Senators
Cornyn, Manchin, Cruz, Sinema
U.S. Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz at 202-224-5922
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin at 202-224-3954
U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema at 202-224-4521
The first two are our U.S. senators from Texas. Cornyn is a elitist globalist who has no problem with tolls, higher taxes, big spending, and bad road policy like this charge by mile scheme that knocks the ‘peasants’ off our public roads so they can whiz around with ease. He’s a squish and needs encouragement from Texans to vote ‘No’ on this bill.
The last two are considered moderate Democrats from swing states who are not necessarily an automatic ‘yes’ for everything their party is trying to push.
I haven’t been able to confirm (it’s 10:30 p.m. here Wednesday in Texas), but am hearing Manchin will vote against Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi on this.
They also need encouragement to stand strong against this bill. It will hurt the working class in the midst of an exceptionally tight labor market.
If you can’t reach their DC office number, call their district offices until you reach a LIVE person! Read how Republicans are more than happy to go along with the bill HERE.
The $3.5 Trillion Human Infrastructure package includes an animal agriculture tax of $2,600 per head of cattle? $500 for swine. This is the Democrats war on ranchers and meat.
Don’t believe the $3.5 trillion figure propaganda from Democrats and Mainstream Media. According to several studies, including the non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the true cost is nearer to $5.5 trillion. Even liberal The New York Times reported this week that the current bill is “likely to cost well over $3.5 trillion.”
Figuring out the true cost could take some time. The bill, formally known as the Build Back Better Act, weighs in at 2,465 pages and 444,311 words.
This and other atrocities are slowly being revealed as more politicians and voters finally have an opportunity to read it. Here are just some of the items in the spending bill.
🔹Over $7.5 billion for a “Civilian Climate Corps.”
🔹More than $7 billion for upgrading the U.S. Postal Service to electric vehicles.
🔹$5 billion for environmental and “climate justice” block grants.
🔹$1.4 billion in “climate change research.”
🔹$3 billion for a tree-planting program “with a priority for projects that increase tree equity.”
How many trees did it take to make this poster?
🔹$4 billion for “neighborhood access and equity grants.”
🔹$2.8 billion to increase the capacity of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to give lawful permanent residence to illegal immigrants into the U.S.
🔹$198 million in funding for “school leadership programs” dedicated to school principals for development and training programs. Can you say Critical Race Theory?
🔹$1 billion for an”electric vehicle charging equity program.”
🔹A boost of $78.94 billion over the next 10 years to go to the Internal Revenue Service expand audits and tax enforcement activities. This includes hiring thousands more employees and an additional $410 million for IRS oversight over taxpayers.
🔹$25 million would go to “nonprofit organizations” to develop “anti-discrimination and bias training” for the health care sector, and another $15 million for national resource centers “focused on providing services for older individuals who are underserved due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.”
🔹$300 million to hire more federal government workers to enforce more “environmental reviews.” This includes purchasing new equipment and assets.
🔹$5 million to implement electronic voting systems for union elections. Do I hear “Dominion?”
🔹Union members would each get a new IRS deduction of up to $250 for dues paid to a labor organization,
Observers see this as one of many provisions to pay back unions for their votes. “extracurricular activities” and affairs to support the controversial election of Joe Biden and Democrats in 2020.
There is no secret the Democrats and Mainstream Media are in bed with each other.
The latest Democrat scheme to reward them for their slanted opinions, fake news and loyalty is their attempt to provide a tax credit up to $50,000 for print and online journalists.
Pelosi scheme rewards loyal journalists
Like most proposals the socialist left dig up, most Americans are against their latest tax scam.
Over 54% of real voters are opposed to the proposal. According to a new Scott Rasmussen survey 19% of voters favor it. As usual, the uninformed or undecided, at 27%, are just not sure.
The proposal is part of the reconciliation package being considered by Congress. Thirty six percent (36%) strongly oppose the idea, and 6% strongly favor.
The proposal is at least “somewhat supported” by 30% of Democrats, 18% of independents, and only 10% of Republicans.
Vermont, with the highest vaccination rate in the country — 88% of adults at least partially vaccinated & 79% fully vaccinated — has set a new record high number of COVID cases.
This comes just four months after Dr. Anthony Fauci said with 50% of adults vaccinated we wouldn’t see significant surges.
Despite vaccination rates of 68% in the age 12 and up demographic and 80% in the critical 65 and up demographic, California has experienced yet another wave in September. This has been accompanied by an increasing reported death rate.
Washington state is similar in that it has 73% ‘fully vaccinated’ in the 12 and up demographic, as well 89% in the 65 and up. Like California, these rates will be much higher within weeks. And like California, it is reporting soaring case and mortality rates.
The covid vaccine has created more anti-vaxxers in less than a year than the entire anti-vax movement has in 3 decades!
Parents are even stopping childhood vaccinations because they no longer trust the vaccine industry.
This same pattern is happening around the world in the most vaccinated countries.
🔹Denmark removed all restrictions and covid infections fell 50%. They continue to decrease. Everything is open. No one is wearing masks. People go to restaurants and events. Danes are now back to living life like normal.
🔹Japan is now using Ivermectin and it’s proving to be very successful.
🔹Sweden is removing practically all remaining restrictions.
🔹Norway just announced they will remove all restrictions immediately.
🔹Romania is shutting down vaccination centers because over 70 percent of the population refuse to be injected with the experimental drugs.
Other countries that have vaccinated few to no citizens include Chad, Madagascar, Mali, Cameroon, Paupa New Guinea, Benin, Burkina Faso, Yemen, South Sudan, Nigeria, Syria, Central African Republic, Sudan, Zambia, Uganda, Guyana, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Togo and more.
Israel is now experiencing its fourth wave of COVID, which is being accompanied by another round of ‘booster shots.’ Israel has 61.5% of all adults “fully vaccinated”
The United Kingdom is experiencing another wave despite 66.5% being “fully vaccinated.”
“The botched and embarrassingly incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan had nothing to do with past Administrations or things that happened “from 20 years ago,” (other than we should not have been in the Middle East in the first place!),” President Donald J. Trump wrote on Tuesday. “The horrible ‘withdrawal’ was caused, in particular, because the Military was taken out before American citizens and $85 Billion worth of the highest-grade Military equipment anywhere in the world.”
“This withdrawal was developed by a child’s mind, and only the Biden Administration is responsible for it,” Trump continued. “When I left office, the Taliban was held at bay, we had as long as we wanted, there was no reason to rush, no soldiers were killed or even shot at for over 18 months, and if they didn’t meet certain conditions, we would have hit them very hard.”
“But then Biden and Milley removed the Military in one of the dumbest Military moves in history, and it all began,” he concluded. “So sad for our Nation!”
A close look at political cartoons, comparing those of our enemies in the Middle East the past few weeks with those released in America, show a stark difference.
While most of theirs are against America, ours are mainly against our own government. Here’s some examples:

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a nonprofit group that supports free speech in institutions of higher education, released its 2021 College Free Speech Rankings last week.
Supplemental findings to the rankings reveal students are more prepared to censor free speech and to use violence to accomplish silencing those they disagree with.
An astounding 66% of students report some level of acceptance for speaker shout-downs (up 4 percentage points from FIRE’s 2020 report).
🔹Today, 23% of the students polled consider it acceptable for people to use violence to stop certain speech (up 5 percentage points).
🔹Two elite women’s colleges, Wellesley College and Barnard College, top this list, supporting the use of violence at 45% and 43% respectively, according to the report.
The report examined the free speech climate by gathering opinions from more than 37,000 students of 159 of “Americas largest and more prestigious campuses,” according to FIRE.
Schools were ranked in the report by how students responded to questions assessing their ability to openly discuss topics such as race, gender, and politics, and whether the ability to express their thoughts was controlled or limited by peer pressure.
The report considers the varied dimensions of free expression on campus, from the ability to discuss challenging topics like race, gender dynamics, and geo-political conflicts, to whether students hold back from openly sharing their views.
The report found that five schools topped the list for creating a supportive environment for free speech (in order):
Claremont McKenna College
University of Chicago
University of New Hampshire
Emory University
Florida State University
The five worst schools for creating a supportive environment for speech (in order):
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Boston College
Louisiana State University
Marquette University
DePauw University
FIRE Senior Research Counsel Adam Goldstein said:
“There are fundamental questions that every student should want answered before committing to a college,” FIRE Senior Research Counsel Adam Goldstein said. “The value of higher education comes from developing a fuller understanding of the world by asking questions that challenge the status quo.”
“A college that won’t clearly protect your right to ask those questions is a bad deal, even if it boasts small class sizes or a fancy stadium,” he noted.
More than 80% of students report self-censoring their viewpoints at their colleges at least some of the time, with 21% saying they censor themselves often.
Only a third of students say that their college administration makes it either very or extremely clear that they will protect free speech on campus.
Sean Stevens, FIRE senior research fellow for polling and analytics, said the schools’ administrations set free speech standards at schools.
“The research is clear, and our experience working with these schools confirms it,” Stevens commented. “Much of the campus climate for expression is determined by the administration.”
“Staking out a leadership position on free speech and open debate resonates with students and has a real effect on a campus’ climate for free expression,” he said.
